As good as this site is and as useful as it can be, it will not help anyone who is ridiculed and run off.

He also can't stick to discussing the point. When someone doesn't bow to his opinion, he resorts to calling names or saying the others stupid. Such behaviors are typical of someone who can't compose a decent argument and can only rely on such tactics to divert the discussion from the merits.
Honestly Camron I was being funny and joking. I did not expect a real response from you. Also if people cannot handle someone with a moniker coming at them, then they really do not need to be officiating in the first place if that is a major issue from them. For one none of us really know the people we are dealing with and we will never meet them. And folks like JR never bother me because he is like the people I am used to dealing with. He is direct and you can take it or leave it. If you do not like what he has to say, do not pay attention. I do the very same things when I see individuals at camp. I am going to tell you what I think, because at the camp is going to be much nicer and more helpful than when you have a coach in your ear. And the last time I checked, none of us are perfect. That includes me and you and the way we have responded from time to time here.

Peace
